Rick something is not right, there's a lot of play in the four 1/4"x20 bolts, try and loosen them slightly when fully extended and see if that takes some pressure off the drive gear.

Jack ,
It's not the assembly mounting bolts all those are tight. It's the three long case mounting bolts that hold the motor to the gearbox itself.

I have the same gearbox so Wanderman did you use your old motor with the new gearbox?

I just replaced my motor, gear box, and controller. The light is turned on and off by the controller when the step moves. There is a purple wire on the controller you can wire in to your porch light or other switch that will also control the step light. Somewhere or somehow your purple wire might be hooked in to a ground or power.
